I use the Quadlock stem mount, it has a couple of o-rings that go round the tube. I mostly mount it on the bars, though, because the modern bike doesn't have a long enough stem and the tourer's stem is too steeply angled for me to see the phone. Wherever I put it, it stays put.

I spent £20 on a new front brake, which I assume is Shimano's plan 🤷🏻‍♂️

I did find a couple (Wolf, Problem Solvers), but nothing that cost less than the shifter. If you have any leads/links that would be great 🙂

I set out to convert Boy the Younger's bike from 3x9 to 1x11 so he has less to worry about when riding, and the shifter I bought turned up with no way to clamp it to the bars. A bit of googling suggests this is a thing now? WTAF? I think I have to hope I can return the shifter and find one that...

When I was looking, I got the feeling that seat-stay fixing and rim brakes are mutually exclusive. I bought an old Crud 'Race' guard for the rim brake bike and a Mucky Nutz Mugguard for the disc-equipped bike.

If you're hands are in the right place but you're getting wrist pain, then try changing angle your hands are at - I just changed the bars on my new Canyon for some Ritchey Kyote bars with 27.5° back sweep, and it's way more comfortable. No change to the reach.

I'm a little late to this, I know, but just noticed this bit in your post. I've realised just over the last year or so that I can cope with quite a wide range of reach and height to the bars if the sweep angle is right for my wrists. The Eureka moment was getting some On-One Geoff bars for my...

Various answers to questions: 1" headset, 55cm horizontal top tube equivalent, and I'm south of Salisbury on the edge of the New Forest.

Weekend bump.

I've decided to sell this. It's really nice but I have a lanes & tracks bike that means more to me than this one does. And it's actually a little small for me. It's in remarkably good condition; the only bit that isn't great is the back wheel - axle and spokes have some corrosion, as per the...

That cog is a thing of loveliness.

Would anyone willing to collect and post? In return for karma / beer money etc.?

Yes please, it would be good to know the BB could be removed if/when needed.

Looks nice. Are the seat post and BB not stuck? Any damage beyond the usual scratches?

Ta.

What year is it?

My 95 Pine is 27.0mm. I know this because i measured it wrong and bought a 26.8mm post. One layer of coke-can later and it fits perfectly.

The bit that's holding me back is that I need to do a budget build and can't find affordable wheels. New ones are expensive and finding the right axle size second-hand is a time-consuming pain.

Nice, will watch this with interest. I only discovered Stooge recently and I'm currently trying to convince myself I don't need a Rambler.

I reckon reckon they're correct, because it means the brake boss is in line with the wheel rim rather than being at an angle.
